The most streamlined process for moving a WordPress site that I have seen. Upgraded from an older GoDaddy hosting plan because GoDaddy called me and advised they could save me money. They did save my company a few hundred dollars. The new Managed WordPress Hosting made migration very simple. The transfer was done within an hour. Thanks!

GoDaddy has always been extremely helpful in helping me get my websites up and running. The Managed WordPress product has been the absolutely clutch, as I no longer have to maintain backups or worry about updates that may impact my sites' performance.

Nick Engberg

I usually bring my clients to WP Engine for hosting, but now that I have used GoDaddy's Managed WordPress hosting with its great UI and one-click migration, I'll be bringing my clients to GoDaddy for a fraction of the annual fee.

William

I recently moved my email and websites to GoDaddy. I have contacted support on several occasions due to my lack of knowledge of Outlook 365 and Managed WordPress. Both chat and phone support were able to resolve my issues quickly.
